Arsis Drummer Returns…Nope Not That One

Blabbermouth reports that co-founding member and original drummer Mike Van Dyne has returned to Arsis. Here are a few short excerpts of what both Van Dyne and Jim Malone had to say about his return.

“I can’t say how excited I am to be working Mike Van Dyne again; ARSIS would have never existed in the first place had it not been for him and his motivation. It’s very hard to find people to work with that you can connect both as musicians and as friends. Mike has always been both of these.” said Jim Malone.

“I’m looking forward to working with my friend Jim again, as well as the great people at Nuclear Blast. Judging by the new material that [guitarist/singer] Jim [Malone] and [guitarist] Nick [Cordle] have been working on, I think we may be sitting on some of the most memorable and thrashy ARSIS material written to date.

Mike Van Dyne mentions that due to employment obligations that he may not be able to play every live show and Jim Malone also said that David Kinkade may still be playing some live shows. I’m certainly looking forward to hearing more Arsis and I seriously need to look into finding their old albums as well.
